Telephone kiosk at St Catherine's

Since 2000 almost all variations of telephone kiosks have been replaced by the present Jersey Telecom Limited standard kiosk. It is an anodized aluminium design finished in all yellow. Manufactured by Prosider S.P.A. of Ravenna, Italy, it is slightly wider than previous designs, this being to enable easier access by wheelchair users. To further facilitate this access the kiosk is installed on a flat stainless steel plate with anti-slip patterning.
Information culled from "A History of the Telephone Kiosk in Jersey" by Graeme Marett [PDF file].

To the right of the kiosk is a plaque commemorating Jane Luscombe's round the island swim in 1976.

Field in the Cueillette De Millais

A fenced off field in the Cueillette De Millais, St Ouen parish. The path South (right) looked as if it would afford access to La Route de La Villaise but in fact it just went around all four sides of the large field. St Ouen's bay can be seen in the distance.

Cueillette De Millais footpath

This footpath in the Cueillette De Millais connects La Route des Landes to La Rue Freule. It has steep banks either side and appears to be used mainly by horse riders judging by the many hoofprints in the mud.

Jane Luscombe's Swim

Plaque at the end of St Catherine's breakwater commemorating the feat of Miss Jane Luscombe, aged 15 years of "Croix au Maitre" who swam around the island of Jersey on 5th August 1976. She left St Catherine's at 4.35 am and arrived back at 5.40pm.
